I have a couple repos that routinely believe there are local changes, when
there are none. The only solution seems to be to delete these files
and reacquire them from git.
For example:
>git status
On branch master
Your branch is behind 'origin/master' by 2 commits, and can be
fast-forwarded.
(use "git pull" to update your local branch)
Changes not staged for commit:
(use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
(use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
modified: XXXXXXX
modified: YYYYYYY
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
>git --version
git version 2.7.2.windows.1
Reset doesn't work.
>git reset --hard
HEAD is now at cebdb13 Commit Message
>git pull
Updating cebdb13..076de5e
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by
merge:
XXXXXXX
YYYYYYY
Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge.
Aborting
Checkout doesn't work
>git checkout XXXXXXX
>git checkout YYYYYYY
>git pull
Updating cebdb13..076de5e
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by
merge:
XXXXXXX
Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge.
Aborting
The only solution that I've found .
>rm .git\index
>rm XXXXXXX
>rm YYYYYYY
>git reset --hard
>git pull
Updating cebdb13..076de5e
Fast-forward
...
Can anyone help me understand why this is happening and how to avoid it?
